Henry Side Gate 45-70 20" Brass 4rd

The Henry Side Gate 45-70 20" Brass 4rd lever action rifle combines classic design with modern functionality. This rifle delivers the heritage accuracy and reliability Henry Repeating Arms is known for, while incorporating a side loading gate that allows shooters to top off the magazine without removing the removable tube magazine—a practical innovation that sets it apart in the lever action rifle category.

The .45-70 Government cartridge is a time-tested caliber capable of delivering significant stopping power and effective range for hunting medium to large game. The 20-inch barrel balances velocity with handling characteristics, making the rifle suitable for brush country and closer-range field scenarios where maneuverability matters. At 8.13 pounds, the Henry Side Gate 45-70 carries comfortably during extended periods without excessive fatigue. The brass construction reflects the rifle's traditional aesthetic while providing durability for demanding use. The four-round tube magazine capacity is standard for this class of lever action, allowing efficient reloading cycles during field applications.

This rifle is purpose-built for hunters and shooting enthusiasts who value the lever action platform's ergonomic speed and iconic handling. The side gate feature addresses a practical concern among lever gun operators: the ability to quickly replenish rounds in the magazine without field-stripping or removing the entire tube. Hunters working dense timber, ranchers managing property, and competitive lever action competitors appreciate the operational efficiency this design offers. The .45-70 caliber selection appeals to those pursuing elk, moose, and other large game species where a proven, historically significant round delivers effective terminal performance.
